Don't run away from your destiny, it will only bring you closer to the inevitable...these were the words that were echoing the ears of the young girl and haunting here as she saw something that she wasn't able to forget.

Verahi is a girl living in the slums of old sutala, a small town built by the previous king of vitala, who was overthrown by the wise beings of shumbha, rumors have it the mythical beings were guided by the shumbha himself. Before that they were ordinary people who were then chosen by the great shumbha to overthrow the previous king of the land and established the word of the great shumbha and established vitala.2000 years after vitala was founded it has become the land of darkness as around 150 years ago a major earthquake caused the release of some toxic dark fog which was not yet settled. The poor died while the rich developed a way to hide from it. Verahi's family was one of the poor ones that were fortunate to die quickly but viraha instead of dying was suffering from the disease that was brought by the fog, she became a living dead as her body became so black it was as black as the fog itself such kind of people were exiled in the slums of sutala, usually these people who live for just 9 months but verahi was different she was now 16 years old, waiting every day for her death.

Verahi use to live on the garbage food as she was not allowed to go anywhere near the healthy one's as people believe these people rejected the word of great prophet shumbha and his teachings and hence was punished and cursed. Verahi accepted this fact, having minimum to none contact to the people and always being surrounded by the sick ones she became very shy and soft-hearted and the only living friend she had was a small jackal named sva. Verahi's day used to go while taking care of the dying ones and ending with the years that were awaiting her death, her tight arms hugging sva was the only one thing that gave her some relief. Untill one day that made her already devastating life even more rotten, one day she was feeding half of her food to sva when suddenly she was grabbed by someone was dragged to a corner of a silent ally of sutala as this place was filled with the sick ones it was almost empty, she was thrown on the street by a few men who were watching her admiring her beauty with list thought she was pitch black was gifted with immense beauty her body was so delicate and gorgeous that the dying people use to think she was an angel send by the prophet shumbha to free them from the miseries, but these people were only looking at her with the lustful eyes wanting her to quench there thirst for the pleasure one of them said "what a shame a sufferer like you have got such a beauty, a trash like you is lucky to be used by people like us, it will make your miserable life of some use" saying this they were approaching towards her the look of these men terrified poor verahi sva tried to rescue her but the poor being was beaten so badly it was bleeding like a river, verahi thought this was her destiny tears from her eyes were starting to dry as she accepted the fact, it was the end for verahi but at that very moment a giant man appeared behind them who was watching all this he was also just like verahi pitch black whose appearance was so disturbing brought fear in the minds of these men he was almost covered with the ashes and cuts his eyes were all red it was like the death himself was standing there he was holding a large machete and was accompanied by a dog that was drooling blood the site was so terrifying it brought sweat on the foreheads of those men. The black figure whispered "भवतः समयः आगतः" and had a creepy smile that was enough to bring shivers

A moment later verahi saw blood all over the street and the life-less bodies of those men this site was enough to faint her, before fainting the only thing she saw was the terrifying face of that being and "Don't run away from your destiny, it will only bring you closer to the inevitable" she heard.
